Disneyland by Rita Ames

DISNEYLAND, A PARK FOR THE WORLD

This amazing place was founded and patented by Walter Elias Disney, who was born in Illinois in 1901. This great American, gave people what they needed, the happiest place on earth!!!!...., that can build memories with the family. The wonder of this magical, fantastic world is that when you enter Disneyland Park,
stories come to life around you and immerse you in tales from some of your favorite Disney films, that you have ever seen in your childhood, like Mickey and Minnie, "Pinocchio", "Dumbo". Disneyland Park is based on the ideas its name represents: imagination, optimism, and self-made success in the American tradition. Through his work he brought joy, happiness, and a universal means of communication.
Before  making this comment about American culture, I saw a beautiful Mickey and Minnie’s clock that my uncle brought me from California, years ago, when he went for a walk at Disneyland  Park and he explained me that it represented more than a leading entertainment corporation with unlimited imagination, creative talent and technical genius. It was connected with the fact that cartoons had been internalized in our feelings, in every mind of every child, our happy childhood  full of fantasy had turned into reality now with this great park. Even grown ups enjoy it regardless of age, because  imagination has no age. This is an immense American contribution to the entertainment, where people around the world are going to have moments of happiness and remember their childhood characters.

Jhon Nash... by Cinthya Salinas.

Madness is a Dream you can Awake!

This mathematical genius and intuitive and perhaps too competitive was born in Bluefield Sanatorium ,Virginia on June 13, 1928.

When he was young he had different tastes; he used to play very little, he loved reading, which was unusual for his age. At the same time he always felt self-sufficient (in an interview he said that he didn’t go to class because the classes could interrupt his mind, his thoughts and originality)

At age of 12 he made his own experiments always related to the numbers, calculations and innovative formulations

Finally he earned his doctorate in mathematics by 1950 at age of 21 with a thesis of less than 30 sheets about “Non-Cooperative Games” with this text he was awarded five decades after whit the Nobel Prize for Economics

The Pursuit of Hapynness Trailer

The Pursuit of Happiness. Commented by José Rene Alvarez

The Pursuit of Happyness

Is an American film of 2006 directed by Gabriele muccino and based on the story of Chris Gardner, the main role is played by Will Smith,

Actors:   • Will Smith    • Jaden Smith   • Thandie Newton   • Brian Howe   • Dan Castellaneta

The story is about a man whose name is Chris Gardner. He invest the family savings in a kind of bone scanners which caused economic problems to his family and in special to his wife (Linda) who leaves him and moves to New York where she has taken a job in a pizza parlor. Their son Christopher stay with Chris because Chris and Linda both know that he will able to take better care of him. Without any money or a wife, but committed to his son, Chris sees a chance to fight for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter, offering a more promising career at the end of a six-month unpaid training period. But he continued with problems in his house because he didn’t pay the rent. In the end the end he entered to the company with a salary and fixed life insurance and he found happyness.

Suddenly you wonder why the phrase ( happyness ) is written with ”y” and not with “I” I don’t know too because is personal to Will Smith and his son, who is part of his life.

I chose this film because in my case my father did the same thing, he had to work really hard in order to give me education, clothes and food. I admire him, some fathers have to do the same, when suddenly his wife died, when his son was born and he has to be mother and father to his son and feed him. This movie is one of my favorites.
